As a RCS Softball Graduates Dad I want to wish Coach Stott Good Luck and a Great Retirement. He largely succeeded at a school that put NO Emphasis on softball at all and whose fields and facilities were sub-standard at best in the sport. He rarely had any help and still managed to do what he did.
Great Job Coach!

MY daughter played softball for cohoes high from 2004 thru 2009 and besides donny a. He was by far the best coach in colonial he never stopped teaching thruout the season and you could always see a great difference from the beginning of the year and end of year.
